The government on Monday unveiled a new health insurance initiative that will provide cancer treatment coverage for 4.1 million Jordanians at the King Hussein Cancer Centre (KHCC), starting 1 January 2026, under the "Reayah" (healthcare in English) programme.

The agreement was signed by the government and the KHCC in the presence of Prime Minister Jafar Hassan and HRH Princess Ghida Talal, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the King Hussein Cancer Foundation (KHCF) and Centre (KHCC).

Hassan described the agreement as a significant step towards achieving comprehensive health coverage in Jordan, emphasising that it paves the way for potential expansion to encompass a wider demographic in the future.

He emphasised KHCC’s vital contribution to cancer care and reaffirmed the government’s dedication to supporting the centre's efforts and ensuring the equitable and efficient provision of healthcare services.

Princess Ghida emphasised that the agreement marks the culmination of over two decades of efforts to secure fair and comprehensive cancer coverage for Jordanians. She praised the government’s decision as a significant achievement that will offer more than 4 million citizens access to equitable and effective cancer treatment across the Kingdom.
